Anyone with information that may help identify the owner of the dive float is asked to contact Coast Guard Sector Honolulu at 808-842-2600.

At approximately 7:22 a.m., watchstanders from the Sector Honolulu command center received notification from a good Samaritan regarding the adrift dive float. The float is orange with a red and white dive flag and 50feet of attached blue line.

Maui County Fire Department also responded and conducted a shoreline search of the area.

It is recommended owners of watersports equipment write their name and phone number on their gear. The Coast Guard offers free “If Found” decals to be placed in a visible location on small, human-powered watercraft through the Operation Paddle Smart program. The information on the sticker can allow response entities to quickly identify the vessel’s owner and aid search and rescue planners in determining the best course of action.

The stickers can be obtained for free at local harbormasters, through the Coast Guard Auxiliary, from Honolulu Sail and Power Squadron offices and at select marine retail and supply stores.
